We traveled with a group of 10, 3 children and 7 adults. Ages ranged from 7 to 60. Although the ship was old it came across to us as maintained very well. We boarded the ship around noon on the 9th and was able to go straight to our stateroom, which was very nice.
We booked our stateroom with a king size bed, when we arrived it was two twins, I didn't see this as a big deal just had to find our stateroom steward to get his help to fix this. He did offend me when he told me that he didn't set the king bed thinking that it was a mother and son traveling. All I could think was YUCK! He fixed our bed and was totally amazing the rest of our cruise.
The dinning hall was definitely NOT what I expected. The first night was all about serving, no smiles, no fun. On our second night they decided to dance and sing, they did this on my first cruise which made dinner so much more fun. We only ate in the dinning room assigned eating twice due to this.
Best service from room steward. Quiet location, smooth sailing stateroom in rough seas.
